Y-chromosome diversity in Catalan surname samples: insights into surname origin and frequency.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Nov 2015

Abstract excerpt

The biological behavior of the Y chromosome, which is paternally inherited, implies that males sharing the same surname may also share a similar Y chromosome. However, socio-cultural factors, such as polyphyletism, non-paternity, adoption, or matrilineal surname transmission, may prevent the joint transmission of the surname and the Y chromosome. By genotyping 17 Y-STRs and 68 SNPs in ~2500 male samples that each...
